Just for you:

Terran General:Name: UnknownHealth: 500Armor: 4Energy: 250Armament: C-20 Long Range Canister RifleDescription: This General directs a large fleet. His current objective is to subdue the masses of Zerg on Aiur. In addition, this General is a renowned sniper, and is a very dangerous enemy.

C-20 Long Range Canister Rifle:The standard C-10 Canister Rifle was never originally designed for combat purposes. It was specifically adapted to its user, the Ghost, as could be seen with its ability to fire Lockdown rounds, and target nuclear strikes with its laser emitter. And although the C-10 was mildly effective against infantry, its nature made it next to useless against armored vehicles and ships.The C-20 was designed to change all of that. It was modeled after the C-10 with many drastic changes. Firstly, the traditional laser emitter mounted on the gun was removed and replaced with a long scope. This scope allowed the use of the C-20 over much longer ranges. Secondly, each bullet fired by the C-20 is filled with volatile chemicals that cause a reaction on its target, dealing massive amounts of damage. Thirdly, the gun itself propels the bullets at a much greater velocity, allowing for better armor piercing. The end result was a powerful rifle that decimated infantry and vehicles alike.

Thanks! I'm a happy man now. (I like that C-20 Rifle. Original and letal. Just what I like a weapon to be. )

Actually, it was you who said that, my friend. And of course it isn't the only one. Just type 'StarCraft Modding' (or something like that) on Internet and... voila!

If all those sites are seriously good is another matter, though, but it can be surprising what can you find in some of them.

AngelSpirit wrote:Yeah, I got it from Maplantis. And I know how to change the Admiral string, just a TBL edit.

He said he knew how to do it. It'd be kinda weird if he didn't change it if he knows how to change it.

A question: This campaign's name is The Reclamation of Aiur, and in the campaign description you said Zilous was gonna attempt to recover Aiur. However, from what I can see, the terrain of your map is 'ashworld' instead 'jungle world'... Do it has a special meaning or something?

Many things that I hoped to do with this map never got around to happening. In particular, despite my best efforts, I simply do not have the skill to do voice overs for this map. As a result, the briefing is considerably bland.

Despite the fact that the download is labeled as vFinal, it is actually just a beta. I will always address any bugs found, but my main priority here is to receive feedback about the difficulty of the map.

With that out of the way, enjoy.

-> + Correct orthograph/grammar for most of the time-> + Informs the player correctly of the events.-> + Some story in the briefing that ties with the official lore and some game story-> + Minimal text formatting

===PROFESSIONAL

-> + Good thread updates (Well written information with screenshots)-> + A few sounds in the briefing-> + Credits to various helpers and sites (although not specific to who did what)-> - Scenario's name conflicts with an existing campaign name on the very site of the contest. Thus the author technically should have checked and picked another name.(Shalandar's Reclamation of Aiur : http://www.campaigncreations.org/starcraft/reclamation_of_aiur)

===TRIGGERING

-> + Triggers works mostly.-> + Trigger comments-> + Use of Locations and switches-> - Too primitive complexity-wise for triggers-> - Some odd bugs and some bugs seems to be plain neglected since they are too obvious

===MAPPING - LAYOUT

-> + The layout seems good overall.-> + Had no trouble maneuvering the maps.

===MAPPING - BEAUTY

-> + Good overall (looks good but can look rushed and terrain might look a bit plain at times).-> - Zero doodads (other than a few stair-type doodads)

===BROWNIE POINTSNote : This doesn't influence directly the scores but might improve it

Note : For the last drawback, I imply that no race would mention normally their own race. Ex : A Terran would say "We (referring to the Terran race or Terran faction) killed the Zerg." instead of "The Terran killed the Zerg".

===TEST LOG

Note : While Hyper Triggers were used, I didn't add it in the Triggering section since I don't see any real justification for them (more precisely any trigger that relies on very quick detection/re-execution)

Mod Bug : When researching Time Distortion (custom modded research), it shows "null" when hovering the mouse on the current research's icon in progress.

Mod Bug : Time Distortion research doesn't improve Zilous' Time Pulse's damage as it claims. It still does 200 damage before and after.

Issue : Looks odd in the briefing story that Zilous is all surprised about the recent events (for the time of the scenario) happening between Starcraft and Broodwar yet you are able to train Dark Templars and Corsairs (which logically they wouldn't be available yet lore-wise) in this scenario.

Bug : Mike can be rescued before the plot would allow it by manually sending a unit to his position.

Bug : Mike can be manually killed by the player before the plot involves him. Mike should be invulnerable until you rescue him manually or the plot give control of him to you.

Complain : Being able to build the Arbiter Tribunal is pointless if you can't create new arbiters.

Note : Somehow I managed to have a generic BW crash while playing the mod. Not sure of the cause other than possibly re-damaging a 0 HP mutalisk that recently emerged from an egg. Thus, I can't be sure if it was caused by BW or the mod itself.

Bug : Looks odd when the general turn blue and start attacking his "own army" (Orange) for a while (during the mini-cutscene) after you destroy the Ion Cannon.

Bug : Hero goliaths (which guards the general) stays invulnerable even when it is the time to kill the general (thus logically should become vulnerable).

Text (Briefing) : "The reclamation or Aiur?" instead of "The reclamation of Aiur?"Text (Mission) : "actaully" instead of "actually"Text (Mission) : Zilous repeats this once more : "Very well. Our control over this sector is nearly complete. We-"Text (Mission) : "I'v" instead of "I've" (reference to "I have" shorten)Text (Objectives) : "Mike, Zilous, and Khadiris msut survive." instead of "Mike, Zilous, and Khadiris must survive." (for the menu one after destroying the Ion Cannon)
